Szerelem és barátság
Jane Austen korai műveinek e kötete vidám és nélkülözhetetlen olvasmány, amely nem hiányozhat azok könyvespolcáról, akik szeretik a halhatatlan írónőt és írásait. Ezek az írások többnyire zabolátlanok, gyakran túláradóan vidámak, s tréfát űznek az általánosan elfogadott irodalmi és társadalmi szabályokból. A gyűjtemény egyesíti magában a túláradó ifjonti életerőt, valamint a szerző kései műveinek éleselméjűségét és lesújtó társadalomkritikáját, ezáltal nem csupán az érett írói látásmód csodálatos bizonyítéka, hanem az emberi ostobaság egyik legszellemesebb karikatúrája is az angol nyelvű irodalomban. A címadó Szerelem és barátság az érzelmes regény vidám paródiája, melyet az egyre-másra előforduló tréfás, túlzó kijelentések tesznek szórakoztatóvá, A Lesley kastély című rendkívül mulattató, rövid írásban két-három regényre is elegendő bonyodalom akad, az Anglia történetében az írónő csúfot űz az iskolai történelemkönyvekből, míg A három nővér, a széptevés és haszonlesés e csúfondáros története akár a Büszkeség és balítélet mulatságos előfutára is lehet.

Sense and Sensibility
HarperCollins is proud to present its new range of best-loved, essential classics. 'Oh! Mama, how spiritless, how tame was Edward's manner in reading to us last night! I felt for my sister most severely. Yet she bore it with so much composure, she seemed scarcely to notice it. I could hardly keep my seat.' Spirited and impulsive, Marianne Dashwood is the complete opposite to her controlled and sensible sister, Elinor. When it comes to matters of the heart, Marianne is passionate and romantic and soon falls for the charming, but unreliable Mr Willoughby. Elinor, in contrast, copes stoically with the news that her love, Edward Ferrars is promised to another. It is through their shared experiences of love that both sisters come to learn that the key to a successful match comes from finding the perfect mixture of rationality and feeling.

OWC Selected Letters
In one of her personal letters, Jane Austen wrote "Little Matters they are to be sure, but highly important." In fact, letter-writing was something of an addiction for young women of Jane Austen's time and in her social position, and Austen's letters
have a freedom and familiarity that only intimate writing can convey. Wiser than her critics, who were disappointed that her correspondence dwelt on gossip and the minutiae of everyday living, Austen understood the importance of "Little Matters," of
the emotional and material details of individual lives shared with friends and family through the medium of the letter. Ironic, acerbic, always entertaining, Jane Austen's letters are a fascinating record not only of her own day-to-day existence, bu
t of the pleasures and frustrations experienced by women of her social class which are so central to her novels. Vivien Jones's selection includes nearly two-thirds of Austen's surviving correspondence, and her lively introduction and notes set the n
ovelist's most private writings in their wider cultural context. About the Series: For over 100 years Oxford World's Classics has made available the broadest spectrum of literature from around the globe. Each affordable volume reflects Oxford's commi
tment to scholarship, providing the most accurate text plus a wealth of other valuable features, including expert introductions by leading authorities, voluminous notes to clarify the text, up-to-date bibliographies for further study, and much more.

OWC Emma
Emma Woodhouse is the lovely, lively, willful, and fallible heroine of Jane Austen's fourth published novel. Confident that she knows best, Emma schemes to find a suitable husband for her pliant friend Harriet, only to discover that she understands t
he feelings of others as little as she does her own heart. As Emma puzzles and blunders her way through the mysteries of her social world, Austen evokes for her readers a cast of unforgettable characters and a detailed portrait of a small town underg
oing historical transition. Written with matchless wit and irony, judged by many to be her finest novel, Emma has been adapted many times for film and television. This new edition contains lively notes and an introduction that shows how Austen brilli
antly turns the mundane into the exceptional. Emma is considered by many to be Austen's finest and most representative novel. The story of Emma Woodhouse's matchmaking, and her awakening to the true feelings of others as well as herself, is told with
consummate wit and humour. This new edition contains lively notes and an introduction that explores how Austen transmutes the everyday into the revelatory.

OWC Mansfield Park
Begun in 1811 at the height of Jane Austen's writing powers and published in 1814, "Mansfield Park" marks a conscious break from the tone of her first three novels, "Northanger Abbey", "Sense and Sensibility", and "Pride and Prejudice", the last of w
hich Austen came to see as 'rather too light.' Fanny Price is unlike any of Austen's previous heroines, a girl from a poor family brought up in a splendid country house and possessed of a vast reserve of moral fortitude and imperturbability. She is v
ery different from Elizabeth Bennet, but is the product of the same inspired imagination.

OWC Catharine and Other Writings
Jane Austen began writing in her early teens, and filled three notebooks with her fiction. Her earliest work reflects her interest in the novel as a genre; in short pieces she plays with plots, stock characters, diction and style, developing a sense of form at a remarkably early age. The characters of these stories have a jaunty and never-failing devotion to themselves. They perpetually lie, cheat, steal - and occasionally commit murder. Throughout these short or unfinished pieces, Austen exhibits her sense of the preposterous in life and fiction with tough-mindedness and robust humour. Alice, the mock-heroine of "Jack and Alice" has "many rare and charming qualities, but sobriety is not one of them". In her later published fiction, Austen had learned to take demands for propriety seriously, reining in whatever might be thought boisterous or coarse. Here we see Jane Austen without her inhibitions. In addition to prose fiction and prayers, this collection also contains many of Jane Austen's poems, written to amuse or console friends, and rarely reprinted. The texts have been compared with the manuscripts and edited to give a number of new readings. The notes recreate the texture of daily life in Jane Austen's age, and demonstrate her knowledge of the fiction of her time. The introduction by Margaret Anne Doody sets the writings within the context of Jane Austen's life and literary career.

Sense and Sensibility
Sometimes the Dashwood girls do not seem like sisters. Elinor is all calmness and reason, and can be relied upon for practical, common sense opinions. Marianne, on the other hand, is all sensibility, full of passionate and romantic feeling. She has no time for dull common sense - or for middle-aged men of thirty-five, long past the age of marriage. True love can only be felt by the young, of course. And if your heart is broken at the age of seventeen, how can you expect ever to recover from the passionate misery that fills your life, waking and sleeping?

Pride and Prejudice (Stage 6)

And what of the other Bennet girls - their fortunes, and misfortunes, in the business of getting husbands?
